VFAF Veterans for America First Endorses Veteran Hope Scheppelman for Colorado CD3
Hope Scheppelman is a United States Navy veteran, critical care Nurse Practitioner, wife, and proud Coloradan fighting for the heart and soul of rural America.
Hope and her husband, Steven, have been married for 20 years and live on their family land in Bayfield, Colorado, in the heart of the Western Slope. Their life reflects the values of rural America — faith, hard work, self-reliance, and an unwavering commitment to freedom and the Constitution.
Inspired by her grandfather, a U.S. Army WWII veteran, Hope answered the call to serve by joining the United States Navy. She began her service as an undesignated seaman aboard the USS Harry S. Truman before earning her designation as a Hospital Corpsman, later serving at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Her military service shaped her lifelong commitment to caring for others and defending American values.
Hope built a 35-year career in healthcare, ultimately becoming a Critical Care Nurse Practitioner after earning her Master of Nursing degree and completing advanced Open Heart ICU training at the Mayo Clinic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she provided frontline leadership, mentoring healthcare workers, and caring for critically ill patients during one of the most challenging periods in modern medicine.
As Vice Chairwoman of the Colorado Republican Party, Hope helped lead the fight for election integrity and constitutional rights. When Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold attempted to remove President Donald J. Trump from the Primary ballot through lawfare, Hope worked alongside party leadership and President Trump's legal team to challenge the decision. The case reached the United States Supreme Court, which ruled 9–0 to restore President Trump to the Primary ballot, protecting the rights of voters nationwide.
Hope continues to advocate for veterans, secure borders, energy independence, parental rights, and rural communities. She is running for U.S. Congress to ensure Colorado’s 3rd District has a strong America First voice fighting for freedom, opportunity, and the future of our nation.
“Hope Scheppelman is a distinguished Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, and a brave U.S. Navy Veteran, who knows the America First Policies required, and will do everything necessary to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. In Congress, Hope will work tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Advocate for our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Safeguard our Elections, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.
Hope Scheppelman has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District and, unlike RINO Jeff Hurd, HOPE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! DJT Feb 21, 2026, 4:06 PM”
